Gastric sleeve , I'm so sick



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve on 3-19-15 . the second I was out of the hospital I was super sick. I try to keep Fluid down as well as most of my Protein Shakes . the nausea and vomiting come at random times, and every day. I just was hospitalized for being so sick and was released yesterday but again today I am so sick! It has been a lot to handle and scary. The good thing is I have no leaks but this sickness I feel is just to much! Anyone else experience this? What helped? What did you do? Please any advice or info would help greatly! Thank you.

Do you now have a prescription for a nausea medication? Rest would be good.

Are they giving you anything for it? What about PPI's or H2's?

Yeah I have tried the Patches, zofran, and phangren (s/p?) Nothing seems to stay down long enough to work or it just doesn't work. I'm hoping that soon it will go away, this being sick thing is really exhausting

I had my surgery on 3/18/15 I find if I eat too much or too fast I end up with dumping syndrome. I am taking opermazole and ursodal. They help but not if I am doing the above. It is a real challenge to eat slowly and small portions. I'm still pureeing food. I hope you feel better soon.

I had my sleeve 3-19-14. Was fine the first 2 months. Then I started throwing up everything I ate and drank. Was nausous 24/7, slept with a big plastic bowl because I couldn't get to the bathroom fast enough. Oral anti nausea meds did not work. The only thing thit would give me relief was IV anti nausea meds. I was in and out of the hosp/ER. My SURG said there wasn't anything wrong with me. I found out over the phone he was referring me to his partner. It took them 6 weeks to get my records to his office so I could schedule an appt. I begged my primary to order home iv therapy for me.after a week of continuous medicine the vomiting stopped. I throw up once in a blue moon now. The new Dr did an endoscopy and told me I had Bile Reflux. I already had damage to my esophagus and the lining of my stomach. I was put in 3 meds and told I would need gastric bypass with a bowel resection to fix it. I'm not having another surg until I get a second opinion. There is a well respected bariactric surg at Barnes hospital, Dr Eagon who I want to see. He might have a less invasive way to treat this. I have lost 135 pounds, 330 to 195. My cardiologist released me because my leaky valve repaired itself with my west loss. My cardiologist was after me for 2 years to have this done. I'm limited on foods I can eat. I literally spent 8 months living in my bed. I lost a ton of muscle mass and could barely walk. Now I can walk a mile in 15 minutes so I have diff entry gotten better. But I know I have more treatment/surg down the road to correct the issue.

Everytime I eat something I get nausous and I stay nausous until I can start drinking liquids again. I am so nausous now in fact, and it's been 2 hours since I ate Breakfast.< /p>

I am doing better, I have a ercp procedure coming up to hopefully help with my liver and pancreas ,I have been in the hospital 9 times in the last month. Hopefully this is the last step, I'm having trouble with acid reflux now (at least I think that's what it is) so I'm being very careful of things I eat. I have lost a lot of muscle mass to from living in the hospital, I am now trying to regain strength and hopefully return to work soon I've been so sick I haven't been able to work but now that things are looking up I'm going they stay looking up :)

Hoping they*

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
